People living with mental illness are entitled to a quality of life that builds hope, resilience and recovery.  Our current mental health system is in crisis. Many people experiencing mental health issues have multiple and complex needs and experience services that are siloed and struggle to provide the help they need, at the level they need, where and when they need it.

Social services play a critical role in creating pathways that can support mental health services and enable smooth transitions for people at any point of the service system. We are contributing to building a just and compassionate society and this requires that anyone needing mental health treatment and support, regardless of their life circumstances, can get the level of help they need when and where they need it.
